LIFE IS A GIFT...UNTIE THE RIBBONS

OK so here it is...my new blog! Well not so new...this blog was actually ready for launch two months ago but I delayed it due to my knee replacement surgery. Who wants to hear about that..!@#$%^&*()_... The idea of the blog came a fall Quilt Market in Houston when my friend Kathy Schmitz and I were trying to decided when we would get into the world of blogging... Well here I am! waving to you Kathy. Check her out she is a very talented designer and super nice person! www.kathyschmitz.com

I just returned from a quilt retreat that I hosted for my club members and friends. The retreat was a SEW YOUR BRAINS OUT retreat. A good time was had by all, we relaxed and laughed and completed tons of projects. I worked on a new design which is still under wraps right now and I finished a Civil War fabric version of my Peace in the Valley pattern. WOW IS IT STUNNING... I'm so pleased with it. I will take a picture and post it ASAP.. (see something else I have to figure out!) Be patient with me as I navigate the ins and outs of blogging.

I hope you enjoy my blog (I hope someone is reading this) I usually have plenty going on to blog about!! I will post often as I get started and let you know the days I will FOR SURE UPDATE THE BLOG. Stay tuned.........I love my life!

Hooray!!! You've entered the world of blogging. It is a wonderful way to connect with quilters and make new friends. Can't wait to see the new designs. Looking forward to seeing a picture of the new version of Peace in the Valley.

You could have TOLD me your blog was up and running! Instead, I have to read about it on Gretch's blog...some friend you are! :-)

It looks great, though. Can't wait 'til mine is ready - should be soon.

You put me to shame!!! My blog is hideous! You beat me hands down on figuring this blog stuff out! I have to admit I have started looking at blogs more then I ever did, but I find I'm drawn to the ones with lots of pictures : ) I take my camera everywhere - I took it to Portland Quilt Market with every intention on taking pictures of my booth and friends but I didn't even snap one shot! I hope you are well and keep up the good work!
